After the incident with Yu Xinglai, the main characters became even more cautious towards her. Under Yue Zijin's accusations, Tang Xi moved to Su Ning's room in a good mood, of course, to prevent Yu Xinglai from launching another surprise attack.

The group planned to rest in Qingyun for two days. Although Su Ning said she was fine, she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the main characters and was forced to stay in the inn for two days before setting off.

Song Hengxue did come by once during that time.

Su Ning looked at the young and handsome man in front of her. He sat upright in the corner of the inn's lobby. When his eyes were lowered, his long eyelashes were like butterfly wings. He exuded a gentle and elegant aura. Even though he wanted to keep a low profile, many women still turned their heads to look at him.

Upon hearing that Song Hengxue wanted to question Su Ning, Tang Xi directly asked if she could listen in, so Yue Zijin and Pei Yunlian also came down.

Looking at the beautiful eyes revealed through the veil, Song Hengxue couldn't help but recall the night she captured Yu Xinglai, when the other party seemed to float lightly into her arms like a fairy under the moon.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Su Ning spoke first, "May I ask what business you have with me, young master?"

Yue Zijin looked suspiciously at the absent-minded Song Hengxue, but was glared at by Tang Xi beside her.

Song Hengxue snapped out of her daze and realized she had lost her composure. She looked somewhat apologetic and said, "I've come here today because I have a question and would like to ask you for your guidance."

Su Ning: "Young Master Song, you flatter me. Please feel free to ask whatever it is."

Since that was the case, Song Hengxue spoke up: "I wonder if the young lady I met at Hongxiu Tower was Miss Su?"

This sounded awkward, and even the main characters were a little confused.

Su Ning hadn't expected the other party to be so perceptive. "Young master has excellent eyesight; it is indeed me."

Seeing that Su Ning had so openly admitted it, Song Hengxue didn't press further, but instead praised Yu Xinglai, saying, "The Thief Saint's disguise skills are truly extraordinary."

Yuezi, already full of questions, bluntly asked, "Hey, what kind of riddles are you two playing? What 'Red Sleeve Pavilion'?"

Upon returning, Su Ning only mentioned the key points, thus omitting the Red Sleeve Pavilion.

Now that Song Hengxue had pointed it out, she had no choice but to recount her experiences at Hongxiu Tower in detail.

"What a thief! I think he's clearly a lecherous scoundrel! A womanizer! He actually dumped you in a place like that!"

Tang Xi was the first to jump up. She saw that Yu Xinglai hadn't done anything to Su Ning after kidnapping her, and she thought he was some kind of gentleman. But he actually left Su Ning alone in the brothel, and she was immediately furious.

Tangxi's voice rose a little as she became angry, attracting the attention of many people.

"Tangxi, keep your voice down. He even kidnapped Susu, and you're only now realizing what kind of person he is?"

Perhaps Yue Zijin knew the worst about men, so when he heard that the other party had left Su Ning in the brothel, he only frowned.

Song Hengxue realized he had misspoke, and perhaps he shouldn't have come to verify his thoughts today. Therefore, he could only apologize to Su Ning: "It was a slip of the tongue; I hope you won't take offense."

Su Ning first comforted Tang Xi, assuring her that she hadn't suffered any mistreatment at the brothel, and then echoed Song Hengxue's words: "It was you who saved me that day, young master; I should be thanking you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Song Hengxue looked at Su Ning and finally said, "Miss, your beauty is too striking. Although not many people saw your face that day, I'm afraid some people with ulterior motives will still use you as a gimmick to spread false rumors. Junior Sister Tang, you should still be careful."

After calming down, Tangxi nodded: "I will remember Senior Brother Song's kindness. We will set off tomorrow."

"I wonder if Senior Brother Song can travel with us?" Tangxi thought for a moment and then brought it up.

The purpose of this trip to Qingyun was to deliver a letter; if the other party were traveling with them, they could look out for each other.

Before Song Hengxue could speak, Yue Zijin coughed, "Ahem, I suppose your valley still has quite a few things to deal with. The young lady who was injured by Yu Xinglai earlier probably hasn't recovered yet."

Yue Zijin met the other person's gaze without flinching. The rejection in his words even made Tang Xi frown, and she whispered a rebuke: "Yue Zijin, what's wrong with you?"

Song Hengxue, however, remained gentle, seemingly oblivious to the hostility in Yue Zijin's words: "Junior Sister is currently recuperating in the valley, and her health is fine. However, Master wants to temper her temperament, and I also have patients to finish treating, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Junior Sister Tang's good intentions."

That day, Qi Linglong, young and fearless, insisted on taking on the task of guarding the South China Sea Luminous Pearl. Of course, the result was the complete annihilation of her entire team.

Now that Elder Qi has detained her and wants her to reflect on her actions, they should depart a little later.

Tangxi understood, and although she felt a little regretful, she also expressed her understanding.

After Song Hengxue left, the atmosphere on the table was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Tang Xi looked at the nonchalant Yue Zijin, her anger flaring: "Why are you so hostile towards Senior Brother Song? I kindly invited him to travel with me, and you, of all people, have to cause me trouble."

Yue Zijin wasn't intimidated by her and retorted sarcastically, "That's your Senior Brother Song, not mine. You want him to come along so badly, could it be that you like him?"

Tang Xi sneered, "Do you think everyone's mind is filled with these kinds of romantic thoughts like yours?"

Yue Zi wanted to argue further, but Su Ning stopped her: "Alright, alright, we're all friends, what's there to argue about?"

Su Ning glanced at Pei Yunlian, who seemed indifferent, and winked at him. Pei Yunlian then grabbed Yue Zijin by the back of his collar and dragged him upstairs. "Go upstairs and pack your things. We're leaving tomorrow."

Seeing Yue Zijin being taken away, Su Ning quickly tried to calm Miss Tang down.

upstairs.

Yue Zijin gulped down a mouthful of tea, glaring at Pei Yunlian who sat upright beside her, her anger flaring: "Why are you stopping me? Song Hengxue clearly has designs on Susu, and Tangxi actually wants to invite a wolf into the house."

Pei Yunlian remained expressionless, but still sighed, "Why bother arguing with Tang Xi? Song Hengxue is of upright character, unlike the likes of Yu Xinglai. It wouldn't be a problem for them to travel together."

He glanced at Yue Zijin, but his words stirred something within him: "If you can't change your current state, there are countless people like Song Hengxue in the world. Do you think you can stop them all?"

Pei Yunlian walked slowly to the window, looking down at the people coming and going, her voice long and drawn out: "I have heard of Xu Heyu, Zhu Qing, and other beauties."

"You are so weak now, how long can you protect her?"
